Thank you for a fascinating video! I wish I could see this exciting production, but sadly I’m currently living in Cyprus. I have loved this musical since being involved, as rehearsal pianist, in an amateur production of Fiddler in 1990. There is definitely some special magic in this piece, and it is clear that the Regents Park production has taken that magic to new heights! Congratulations to all involved! 👏❤️🎶

got tickets for September. So excited, I've loved Fiddler since I was a kid but I've only seen the film, never seen a live version.

I saw the last production at The Playhouse twice. It was incredible! This one looks a great production too.
